Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

This was so well written. I found myself feeling so deeply for the different characters. I loved how each person's actions made sense and how realistic every character was. This didn't feel like fiction, it felt real and raw. Beautiful story. Normally I hate endings like this one, but it felt perfect to me.

I was a little confused in the beginning with the way the book bounces between different narrarators, but the writing, itself, was beautiful. I liked the stories and the focus that was put on the mothers and their daughters.

4.5/5 ⭐️

"That’s life. You’re always making decisions, taking paths that lead you away from the rest before you can see where they end. Maybe that’s why we as a species love stories so much. All those chances for do-overs, opportunities to live the lives we’ll never have."

I love the way Emily Henry's books are so relatable/understandable and leave me in my thoughts. The witty banter between her characters is always my favorite. Some of the scenes weren't my favorite but it was a great story overall.

I officially love this series! It got better and better each book and I'm a wreck. I cried and felt so many emotions while reading this. It's hard to let it go and have the story be over.

I normally hate books with a love triangle involving brothers because I would hate if a girl ever came between my sons, but this one was done so well that I let it slide.

I expected more. I will give the second book a chance though, maybe it gets better.
